Carrie is a beautiful American woman who's had many boyfriends.

Scarlett shares a flat with Charles; she's not his girlfriend and she's looking for the right man.

Fiona is clever and elegant, unlike her brother. She hasn't got a boyfrien; she's in love with someone who doesn't love her.

Tom is Fiona's brother; he's rich but not very clever friend of Charles; no girlfriend, but he's looking for love.

Henrietta is an old girlfriend of Charles and still wants to marry him; people call her "Duck Face" behind her buck.

Gareth is a loud and lively friend of Charles; he enjoys his food and drink and lives with his boyfriend Matthew.

Matthew is quieter than Gareth, and kind and intelligent. He and Gareth have been together a long time.

John is Henrietta's brother; he's very boring.

David is Charles's younger brother; he's deaf, and he and Charles communicate by sign language.

Serena is an affectionate young woman; she learns sign language so she can talk to David.

THE FILM
 In class we've been seeing the film, it was quite interesting and exactly as the novel. I thought it was a little bit boring if I compare it to other films I've seen. It was entertaining and nice to see.

Here you can see the trailer!





MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER 
My favourite character was acutally Fiona, because she was strong and even thought she was in love with Charles, at the end of the film she decides to leave him and find the true love. I think that should be what a girl should do in the same situation. Be strong and enjoy the life and her friends.
